Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool

Have you ever sent a print job to the network printer down the hall, only to find it didn't print because of a paper jam or

an empty paper tray? One of the features of the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool is the E-mail Alert Setup, which

sends you, or the key operator, an e-mail when the printer needs supplies or intervention.

If you fill out printer inventory reports requiring the asset tag number of all of the printers in your area, the Dell Printer

Configuration Web Tool has a Printer Information feature that makes it easy. Type the IP address of each printer on the

network to display the asset tag number.

The Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool feature also lets you change printer settings and keep track of printing trends. If

you are a network administrator, you can easily copy the printer's settings to one or all printers on the network—right

from your Web browser.

To launch the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool, type your network printer's IP address in your Web browser.

If you do not know what your printer's IP address is, print a network setup page, which lists the IP address.

To print a network setup page, press and release the Continue button .

Use the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool for:

Printer Status—Get immediate feedback on printer supply status. When toner is running low, click the toner

supplies link on the first screen to order additional toner cartridges.

Printer Settings—Change printer settings, view the operator panel remotely, and update the print server

firmware.

Copy Printer Settings—Quickly clone the printer's settings to another printer or printers on the network by typing

each printer's IP address.

NOTE:

You must be a network administrator to use this feature.

NOTE:

This application is not available when the printer is connected locally to a computer.
